Aston Martin reveals the exclusive DBX Bowmore Edition

Aston Martin's SUV, the DBX, has been revealed in an exclusive 'Q by Aston Martin' specification to celebrate the brand's innovative partnership with legendary single malt whisky distillery, Bowmore.

The striking Aston Martin DBX Bowmore Edition has been created by the marque's personalisation service, Q by Aston Martin, in celebration of the partnership between the two British luxury brands. Just 18 units of this limited edition DBX will be built and delivered to customers at a private lifestyle experience in Scotland.

The DBX Bowmore Edition is enrobed in a striking paint colour, named Bowmore Blue, an existing archive colour which has been brought back exclusively by Q by Aston Martin for this car. Customers will have the option to choose an alternative exterior paint colour should they so wish.

Xenon Grey paint, which displays a blue metallic fleck throughout, will be offered as an additional exterior option. Bowmore-branded copper inlays using copper from the original whisky still have been used to accent the side strakes of the DBX, as a nod to the traditions maintained by the company.

Optional black brake calipers provide a subtlety to the smoked wheels, and the overall elegance of the exterior is highlighted by both script and wing Aston Martin badges and Q by Aston Martin fender badges.

Customers can choose either the Obsidian Monotone or Copper Tan Metallic/Obsidian Duotone interior, both choices accented throughout by flashes of Bowmore Tweed, reflecting the company's Islay ancestry.

Created by the world-renowned Islay Woollen Mill, which was first established in 1883, the subtle and sophisticated design incorporates copper and blue inspired by the island's terroir and lochs, making it inherently unique to Bowmore and its island home.

In addition, the interior holds many Q by Aston Martin design details such as polished copper cupholders, and sill plaques made of recycled copper from the original Bowmore still. The gloss black centre console trim inlay features bespoke hand-laid, copper foil detailing.

Each car comes with a selection of specially designed Q by Aston Martin accessories such as a Bowmore tweed picnic blanket and leather holdall. Each of the 18 DBX Bowmore Edition owners will be invited to an exclusive Aston Martin Art of Living experience in Scotland.

Guests will travel to Edinburgh where they will be presented with their own special edition DBX, before embarking on a 274km road trip through the spectacular Scottish countryside, taking in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park before driving onto the ferry bound for Islay.

Alongside a trip to Islay Woollen Mill and fine-dining throughout their three-night stay, owners will be treated to a private tour of the Bowmore Distillery. During this very special tour, they will have the opportunity to hand-fill their own bottle of a 39-year old, specially selected Bowmore straight from the cask.

They will also be given exclusive access to the Number One Vaults, the oldest maturation warehouse in the world, which has played host to a number of VIPs over the years, including members of the British Royal Family.

Aston Martin's unique partnership with Bowmore has already created the 'Black Bowmore DB5 1964', bringing together an exceptional single malt and a genuine piston from the legendary Aston Martin DB5.
